Installed, on our site, stangsofsouthflorida.com but users are complaining about the tapatalk signature that is included on every post, how do we shut that off?
Nice app!!!

[bposner]

We are also getting privilege errors, I'm have full admin rights, but get this message and so do other users:
"You cannot view posts because you do not have sufficient privilege."
Thanks

Hi,

This can be turned off in the iPhone Settings. :-)

We are also getting privilege errors, I'm have full admin rights, but get this message and so do other users:
"You cannot view posts because you do not have sufficient privilege."
Thanks

Our staff will contact you shortly to resolve this issue.

Why is this mod marked as "Downloaded" for me? I haven't touched it.

(I just wanted to let the yellowpeter know in case there's something wrong with the way downloads are counted.)

Finally Apple has approved it and it is appearing in the app store starting from now.

http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/M...307880732&mt=8

Currently this release is limited to U.S. app store only and we will release it to the rest of the world in next release (estimate around 10-20 days from now judging from Apple recent turn-around time)

I hope you all give it a try and we are constantly improving this app - your feedback is greatly appreciated.

What happening next is we are working on a iPhone Analytic for your forum so you can see how many users has been accessing your forum thru iPhone and also their average time on your forum etc. This will help to complement what you already have such as Google Analytic.

Yay now we just need canada/uk/other
